Tip Toe Discovery School

Tip Toe Discovery was founded by two sisters, Suzana and Vera, who based on their life experiences had a dream of combining the Montessori Method together with a bilingual education proposition.

Tip Toe Discovery is a bilingual K-12 school teaching in English and Portuguese. We are located in Alphaville, a thriving residential and business community on the outskirts of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

We pride ourselves in offering the Montessori Method as one of the cornerstones of our educational philosophy. Combined with our open school grounds we offer the perfect setting to enable your child to grow and reach their full potential.

With over twenty years of experience, we have created a truly unique environment. Our alumni have gone on to continue their pursuit of higher education in Brazil, the United States, Europe, and around the world.

Our vision is to ensure that our students grow into respectful and highly regarded human beings. We foster self-confidence and offer an environment which guides students into becoming courteous individuals who will make important contributions to our world.

We use a methodology that encourages students to be receptive to new ideas; expanding their creativity and their eagerness to learn. We aim for the development of a solid foundation that enables students to become accomplished individuals.

We are an independent school, fostering each others individuality

English immersion
From the moment school starts up to the last bell of the day, students are immersed in an English-speaking environment. Portuguese and other languages are both taught and spoken, but the vast majority of our day-to-day is English-based.

Ample room to explore
We believe kids learn not only inside classrooms but also by exploring the world around them. For this reason we have built a school which values the environment and offers kids the opportunity to enjoy and learn from the nature that surrounds them.

Montessori pioneers
We’ve been implementing the Montessori Method for 23 years and counting. All of our Early Education staff are qualified Montessori teachers, and our environment has evolved throughout years to offer the ideal space for students to learn and grow by experience.
